Scoot carryon out of SIN - Strict?

[ChrisM]

Not seeing me getting below 22 lbs with a camera. Have a small backpack and small roller. How strict are they at weighing or does it just depend on the day

And if overweight is it simply a matter of & (cuz if so who cares) ?

Can't speak specifically to SIN, but splitting weight between backpack and roller is a good start. However, if the flight is full and you are travelling coach/economy - and do not have loyalty program that gets you in higher zone for boarding - you may be targeted to check your roller. While getting dinged for a few extra $ can be irritating it is probably not the worst outcome....

24 of us flew last month SIN-Manado on Scoot, and returned a couple do weeks later. No one had their carry-ons weighed, or even counted. and from looking at what people were bringing on the published guidelines seemed irrelvant.

Yup I did the same trip and check in bags were not weighed.

Flying out of SIN requires the security check at the gate for X-ray etc., and it's fairly relaxed if they see you are carrying camera gear etc.

My backpack with cameras and lenses as well as a laptop along with a small roller bag with housings and strobes comes to 25Kg and I wasn't stopped boarding my Scoot flight to MDC last year or my return journey from DPS back to SIN. Even my packed LionAir flight from MDC to DPS was fine.
